do you know how to create hotkey for pen option in annotate UI.

I know this is really old, but I can’t find a way to zoom in ShotGrid Create.
Is there any?

@rolander , can you let us know if this works for you?

It does! I tried that before, but tried ctrl+drag up and nothing happened. I have to grag to the right to zoom.
Thanks,

Can we add ones to affect brush size quickly please ? If one zooms one need to affect brush size without moving eyes from the drawing. Ala photoshop maybe [ and ] , but any would do. Same in RV, please. This is crucial for people that use annotations and are great drawing artists. Quality of brushed and flexibility is crucial. The size shortcut is a basic one but that would already help a lot. Thank you.

Is there a way to switch A for B and B for A with a quick key combination ? To push one to the left and the other one to the right or vice-versa. Left-handed people have asked us to be able to switch sides quickly not to draw while masking the reference with their hands. A simple thing but it makes sense. -Thank you for your consideration.
